2,32 NORTHERN ZOOLOGY. 



DESCRIPTION. 



Body black. Mouth aud its organs and antennae reddish : prothorax flesh-coloured with two 

 large subquadrangular black spots, separated by a narrow flesh-coloured stripe, which occupy almost 

 all the disk : elytra flesh-coloured, taken together with eleven roundish rather large black spots, three 

 of which are common to both elytra, viz. 3, 4,3, 1 , the common spot at the apex is transverse : legs 

 black with the base of the thighs and tibiae, tarsi, sides of the abdomen, and anus testaceous. 



This species seems to come near C. borealis of Thunbcrg, but it differs in colour and the number 

 and disposition of the spots. 



XII. HETEROMERA. Geoff. Lat. 



I have deferred the description of the Heteromera till now, because one of that 

 subdivision, Meloe, appears evidently to be one of the links that connect the Coleop- 

 tera with the Orthoptera ; yet, as was long since observed, 3 the predaceous genus 

 Manticora seems to present some signs of a leading off towards, to the first tribe 

 of the Heteromera the Melasoma of Latreille.
